marge main d'œuvre unitaire

Although this form of telegraphic language is less usual in FR, this is the sort of expression one of my major customers uses for terms like this — basically due to string length restrictions in their software!

Just checked my customer's TM: 'marge MO' > 'mark-up on labour'
Peer comment(s):

neutral mchd : ce n'est pas la marge dans le cas présent

Why is 'mark-up' not 'marge' here, as it is in so many other contexts?

taux de marque sur le coût d'une unité de main d'oeuvre

You have an employee you are paying $20 an hour. You charge them out at $20 x 2.6, or $52 an hour.

Or, take the same employee at $20 an hour and add the labor burden at 1.35 (or whatever your labor burden is - in some areas, like California, the rate is closer to 1.48). That makes their total cost $27/hour. That is the number that goes on your estimate sheet. Calculate the number of hours they will have on that job times $27 to determine your total labor cost, then apply a markup of 1.50 (or whatever the correct markup is for your business). You'll be quoting a total price to the customer, not an hourly rate, but your effective labor rate is $40.50/hour.

Note from asker:
Helpful answer! Mais la traduction est un peu longue pour l'usage prévu. Et Tomy M a raison, "unit" probably refers to 'unit produced'.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : You are assuming that 'per unit' refers to 'unit of labour' — but I think it may in fact refer to 'unit produced' — of course more context would help. I've never personally encountered 'taux de marque', about which I have grave doubts.
